>> 
>> Thanks!

>> I've been [a little distracted](http://www.drmaciver.com/2017/03/looking-into-starting-a-phd/) this past week or two, so tomorrow's chapter is currently completely unwritten. I know what will happen, so I'll probably write it this afternoon, but it may be a little on the short side...
>> 
>> Update: It's actually ended up a little on the long side because I couldn't wrap up the beginning of the chapter as quickly as I'd intended. Chapter will be up in the morning as per usual.

>>> **u/brmj** [+1]  (26 days later)
>>> 
>>> Thanks for keeping me in the loop with the update. That's really going above and beyond. I'll look forward to it.
